With regard to the launch of Creative Europe, the European cinema organizations UNIC,CICAE and Europa Cinemas harshly criticize the attempt of the European Commission, to support day-and-date releases with the recently launched Preparatory Action “Circulation of films in the digital era.” The organizations criticize that this programme has been designed without any significant prior consultation with cinema exhibitors and threatens to disproportionally weaken cinemas.
